If you purchased a terra cotta pot base, paint that as well. I chose to paint mine light green. I like how it compliments the lines at the top of the planter. You could also paint it red with seeds to camouflage it if you prefer it not stand out.

If you paint a watermelon pot for your own or have created any of the crafts featured on this blog, I’d love to see them! Please send them to slumberingalligator@gmail.com. I’ll post them on the Slumbering Alligator Concepts Facebook page. You can view that page here- www.facebook.com/slumberingalligator. And, while there feel free to give us a “Like”.
